Description

by William Butler Yeats (Author)

In this famous one-act play, a faery child visits a rural Irish home on May Eve, tempting a young bride to abandon mortal life for the eternal youth of the Otherworld. Drawing on Celtic myth and spiritual symbolism, Yeats explores the tension between earthly duty and the allure of transcendence. First staged in 1894, it marked his debut in professional theatre and remains a cornerstone of Irish literary drama.​

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was an Irish poet, dramatist and prose writer. One of the greatest English-language poets of the 20th century, Yeats received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923. The Land of Heart's Desire (1894) remains one of his most famous dramas. This edition also includes a short selection of thematically relevant poetry by Yeats, including "The Stolen Child," "The Hosting of the Sidhe," and more.
